ANDREW MCCARTHY: Andrew McCarthy: Mueller’s letter to Barr – A neat trick by the Washington Post before hearings begin. Think of them as narrative police for their fellow Democratic operatives with bylines and you won’t go far wrong.
I suspect that all this sudden concern about the word “spying” is because the Obama administration was in fact doing a lot of spying on a lot of political opponents, and the Democrats know it.
Flashback, March 2017: “Hypothesis: The spying-on-Trump thing is worse than we even imagine, and once it was clear Hillary had lost and it would inevitably come out, the Trump/Russia collusion talking point was created as a distraction.”
The Democrats and their bylined operatives are acting worried.
